I come from a long line of strong, determined and gifted women whose hands were rarely idle. Their wisdom and patience to teach the next generation nurtured a creative seed in my spirit. When I use my hands to create, I find joy. It’s that simple.

Hedgehogs

The morale in our office is pretty flat these days. To give ourselves a boost, we decided to dust off ol' Secret Santa. Even with the short notice (we didn't even get started until after Thanksgiving), we are all having a hoot! Our Secret Santa rules are pretty simple -- keep it very cheap and have fun!

My Secret Santa totally rocks! I have received at least one gift every day -- often two. Some really fun stuff (a backscratcher) and some very pretty things (crystal rooster ~ gotta see it to really appreciate it). Anyway ....

I am trying to be creative for my person ~ she collects hedgehogs! I have been challenged to find cool hedgehog stuff and have to admit that I was not aware that there is a large market for hedgehog collectables!Hmmm, perhaps I need to make some hedgehog jewelry ....
